Prov: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, [16], 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, [Home]
1The preparations of the heart in man,
and the answer of the tongue, is from the LORD.
2All the ways of a man are clean in
his own eyes; but the LORD weigheth the spirits.
3Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy
thoughts shall be established.
4The LORD hath made all things for
himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.
5Every one that is proud in heart is
an abomination to the LORD: though hand join in
hand, he shall not be unpunished.
6By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and
by the fear of the LORD men depart from evil.
7When a man's ways please the
LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.
8Better is a little with
righteousness than great revenues without right.
9A man's heart deviseth his way: but the
LORD directeth his steps.
10A divine sentence is in the lips
of the king: his mouth transgresseth not in judgment.
11A just weight and balance are the
Lord's: all the weights of the bag are his work.
12It is an abomination to kings to
commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness.
13Righteous lips are the delight
of kings; and they love him that speaketh right.
14The wrath of a king is as messengers
of death: but a wise man will pacify it.
15In the light of the king's countenance is
life; and his favour is as a cloud of the latter rain.
16How much better is it to get
wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than
silver!
17The highway of the upright is to
depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.
18Pride goeth before destruction,
and an haughty spirit before a fall.
19Better it is to be of an humble
spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.
20He that handleth a matter wisely shall
find good: and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy is he.
21The wise in heart shall be called
prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.
22Understanding is a wellspring of
life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools is folly.
23The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth,
and addeth learning to his lips.
24Pleasant words are as an
honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
25There is a way that seemeth right unto a
man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
26He that laboureth laboureth for himself;
for his mouth craveth it of him.
27An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in
his lips there is as a burning fire.
28A froward man soweth strife: and a
whisperer separateth chief friends.
29A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and
leadeth him into the way that is not good.
30He shutteth his eyes to devise froward
things: moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass.
31The hoary head is a crown of
glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness.
32He that is slow to anger is better
than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a
city.
33The lot is cast into the lap; but the
whole disposing thereof is of the LORD.
